Oh no, not again... Director (over PA): STOP TAPE! Me: What's going on? (I go and have a talk with the director and producer, and eventually come back out onto the set) OK, here's the thing. The right answer we had there was A, Relativity, that's what it's known as. But that theory of relativity is a theory about gravitation, or gravity, which is what you went with. We try to avoid trick questions in this game, and I think it's safe to say that would be a trick question. What we're going to do is give you a new $200 question when we get going here. Director (over PA): Alright, let's pick up where we left off. Pick up in 5... 4... 3... 2... (music picks back up) In which city is Big Ben located? | A. New York | B. London | | C. Paris | D. Madrid |

Post by romnserg on May 28, 2018 2:05:01 GMT -5
Throughout the years and even with the "Risk" format in some countries like Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, Russia and others. The traditional second safety point was always the 10th question as always worth 32,000 (Since I'm in America, it's $32,000) . And you know what? I'll stick the tradition, play it safe and: SET THE SAFETY POINT IN THE 32 THOUSAND DOLLAR LEVEL; PLEASE, EVAN!
